The step over

One of the most popularsoccer moves: The Step Over, involves running with the ball, making a dummy kick and then running past the defender if has made a move to block the ‘dummy’. Many different styles of step overs are around but all involve ‘stepping’ over the ball in such a way that it looks like you are about to kick it – this will make the defender think you are about to kick it and move to block the ball.

It is possible to do several Step Overs, one after the other, by dragging every second of third step over the ball. This will increase the speed of the ball and let you maintain the speed you are running at and not overtaking the ball.
